Leasing, buying, subscribing in Switzerland: which solution is the best?

While the deals on Car subscriptions the more things around it also improve. A subscription today offers a increased cost transparency and more Flexibility than a few years ago. Both the Car subscriptions as well as the long-term oriented Leasing or the cash purchase each car have their own First Name and Disadvantages .

Swiss Leasing Association: The subscription model is growing in popularity

In Switzerland recorded the private auto leasing market significant growth, even if this growth is due to the outbreak of the Corona pandemic was braked. That's why the online bank Swissquote announced at the beginning of December that they will also be in the future Leasing business will get in. One is planned Cooperation with the American company Tesla Motors. The Swiss Leasing Association (SLV) according to the increase in the volume of consumer leasing fell in 2019 especially high out. In relation to new vehicles, there was an increase in the credit volume by 9 percent detected. The average loan amount in 2019 was thus 34.500 francs per car, based on newly leased cars. The general rule is that between 30 to 75 percent of all new cars in Switzerland Leasing contracts financed. The proportion depends on Car brand and Model.

The cheapest option is the cash purchase

Will a car be in Bought cash, the cash payer usually receives a clear Discount. However, this variant is only worthwhile from one Holding period from above six years. This is due to the enormous depreciation of the new car within the first three years. From a financial and ecological perspective, the sale is worthwhile two up to three years under no circumstances.

An old saying goes: "If you drive from the yard, the car is only worth half". And that's not entirely wrong. That's why efficient companies rely on the Cash purchase instead of leasing. This is also confirmed by the SLV figures: Around 80 percent of 2019 leases be of Private Clients claimed. The remaining 20 percent fall under the category Commercial property.

Regarding availability and fleet size
there are big differences

Depending on Subscription provider the selection of vehicle models and their availability differ significantly. So some providers are only on few locations settled and have a small fleet. Others, however, are more often represented. Most providers stand out short notice periods from that often just one month be. A big advantage is that Cost transparency. Because here fall no additional costs apart from Treibstoff or Electricity. Everything else is already included in the subscription price. The monthly Flat fees vary depending on Car subscription, provider and Vehicle model. On average they are between 300 and 2.000 francs per month.

According to TCS are Car subscriptions useful for people with one regular incomeeither for a limited period of time on a car reliant are or every now and then another car Want to drive. This is how the dream of the Convertibles for the summer without long term Commitments realize.

According to the TCS, an average of 15.200 kilometers are covered annually in Switzerland. So this compared Autoscout24 online portal the cost between Leasing and Car SUBSCRIPTION. This comparison found for one VW Polo with 15.000 kilometers per year. While the lease payment from 208 francs at first glance günstiger works, they can interest with a short one Holding period higher the Ausfall. In effect, this is a total 600 francs a month the Leasingwhile it was Car subscription CHF 570 for 12 months are.

However, the comparison should be treated with caution. Because the Road traffic tax, insurance premium and administrative costs differ depending on the holder canton.

Leasing should support technological change

The Leasing offers one in this area special advantage for the customer: through leasing first experience be collected with the new technology. Because development does not stand still, which is among other things in the improved battery technology manifests.

Monthly must the Debt interest be settled while at the same time the Maintenance of the car. In addition, the car must have the Lease period away fully comprehensive be insured. You can also return the vehicle additional costs for Additional kilometers or repairs attack. Ultimately, only then is there a right of first refusal on the car if this contractually stipulated at a hunt.

Because Taxes, Insurance and Maintenance are in Lease interest selten contain. However, there is also Full leasing offers like amag.
